The most intuitive PACKAGESITE is the one pointing to the directory *before* All including trailing slash. This way one can add packages by origin, which is more human friendly then knowing the specific version or what the mangled LATEST_LINK is. pkg_add will then do the right thing with respect to dependencies. But to explain the PACKAGESITE variable: it is expected to point to the final location (including trailing slash) for the command line argument(s) given. pkg_add will try to figure out how to get to 'All/' and 'Latest/' the best it can if the url ${PACKAGESITE}$1 returns not found and for dependencies. -- Mel _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
